Problem the AI is intended to solve

Currently all immigration case filings are manually reviewed for the requisite physical quality (legibility, meets formatting requirements, etc.) before the filing is officially accepted or rejected by EOIR personnel, which prolongs the initial intake and processing of case filings. A large portion of initial intake and processing of case filings could be automated with AI tools only requiring manual review for outputs below a defined threshold.

Expected benefits

More efficient review of case filings at intake. Ability to reallocate EOIR administrative personnel to assist with other tasks in the immigration adjudication process.

System outputs

Automated review of case filings, automated acceptance or rejection of case filings, and recommendations to EOIR personnel to manually review case filings for quality as needed.
